[BUG] Self 4.1.6 fails to start on OS X 10.2.1

[michael_abd_el_malek]

Hi Brian,

I haven't been able to reproduce your problem.  I have tried the Self
release on various machines and they all work fine.

The undefined references all belong to the ncurses library.  The
"otool" utility shows that the Self app is dynamically linked to
/usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib.  Can you confirm that your system has the
/usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib library?  It is standard with Mac OS X.

Also, are you sure you're using the Self 4.1.6 binary?  Make sure that
your SELF_WORKING_DIR points to the Self 4.1.6 release, not to an old
Self 4.1.5 binary.

Good luck
Mike
